One of Beapo's memorable achievements involved a global shortage of engines that threatened a client's operations. By partnering with Scania, Beapo adapted an alternative engine series to meet the client's needs, turning a crisis into a success story and strengthening their client relationship.
Beapo is also committed to giving back to the community. Through their CSI Initiative, Bright Horizons, they aim to support education by providing bursaries, building libraries, and supplying books and uniforms to children in need.
Beapo's dedication to strategic sourcing, innovative solutions, and community impact makes it a standout business in KwaZulu-Natal.
